I ended up with 2 Vaonis Hestias (with solar filter). I only need one. One is still in the shipping box and I’m willing to sell it for $50 less than the going price, which is $399 on the Vaonis website and astonomy stores. So make it $350. And you won’t have to pay for shipping or tax.
Message me or email me at mike.mitchell@okcastroclub.com if you’re interested.
The only problem I’ve found with it so far is it’s difficult to line up my camera (iphone 15| Pro) with the camera in the Hestia. So don’t wait for something important (like the eclipse) to first try it. Practice with it until you can get it aligned easily.
